Pronouncing Namine

[Iridaceae]

I just saw the interview with Brittney Snow.
She pronounced Namine's name
Nam-in-ae.
For me, I've been thinking it was
Nam-een.
How did and/or do you personally pronounce Namine?

yea, that's how i thought it was pronounced too. jesse mccartney pronounces 'roxas' differently from what i thought too.

He does? I wanna check it out.

Grr. I don't like how they americanized the pronunciation of Roxas and Namine's names... it's not exactly the best way to say them.

Na-meen is kind of eliminated from possible pronunciations since there's an accent on the 'e' that forces you to pronounce it.

I say Na-Mi-Ne, broken up into Japanese pronunciation with equal stresses on the syllables.

I say Ro-Ku-Sa-Su (Japanese), 'ku' with the 'u' fading off, same with the 'su.'

I don't know why I pronounce it like that, but I got used to it after watching countless cutscenes with Roxas and Namine in them.

 

[ultima_keyblade]

i always said nay-meen

 

[Tiger King]

I pronouncer it like Na-min-yay

 

[Eclipse]

well roxas is rock-suhss and namine is nah-min-ay
i'm sure the voice actors are saying them right, considering they are the ones with the scripts, and disney who is by the way one of the creators...knows what the names are

i wouldn't like it if they took the japanese sound roke-suhs...i like rock-suhs

Na-min-yay?
Like yay as in "YAY! I got a cookie"?
That's a new way to say it

Methinks she doesn't want to be an offical member here- and probably just randomly posted on this forum, and won't even remember the next day.

First I just called her Nah-meen, because it was easy and sounded nice. Then I started noticing the accent, so I went to Nah-MEEN-ay. Now they're throwing me for a curve and making it NAH-meen-ay.

I was so close. So close! ^_^

xP I didnt know it was Namin-ae either, I thought it was nam-eeen.

 

[Noezel7]

same here monkeybutt, i've been pronouncing it na-mean for so long that the rest of the pronunciations just look and sound odd to me

 

[Engulfed]

I'm glad I'm not alone in the "Nameen" theory ^_^
Oh and Namine-Kairi, just head on over to www.khinsider.com and they'll fill you in on everything ^_^
